Sat above Freshwater Bay this distinctive caponier apartment linked to Fort Redoubt a Palmerston Fort built under Prime Minister Lord Palmerton during the Victorian period in 1856 is steeped in history. The fort was originally constructed to provide defence against the French who might land at Freshwater Bay in order to attack the Needles battery. The caponier was constructed to enable the soldiers to shoot along the moat if the enemy should attack the Redoubt in this way. It makes for a fantastic base to explore the many activities and attractions nearby from the water sports available on its doorstep at Freshwater Bay to The Needles park close by. With over 70 miles of Coastline there are plenty of beaches to choose from.
